Hello,
I currently have an old Macbook Pro with a big hard disk so my whole iCloud Photo Library is downloaded and therefore gets backed up via time machine.
I want to replace this old laptop with a new version that has a small SSD that won't be big enough to hold the entire library, so iCloud Photo Library would be set to 'optimise storage'.
With this setup the only place all my photos would be stored is in iCloud. Is there anyway of backing the whole library up to local storage? I know I could have the iPhoto Library on an external drive but that would mean keeping it plugged it all the time.
Thanks, Daniel
